Carena's GROOVE Challenge

04-25-2013, 04:21 PM

OK I know many of you have been asking for challenges - well I have one for you.

Carena's Recipe Challenge
Steps:

1. Make a page with a solid white background.
2. Choose one color to feature (in my example I choose blue)
You can use only tones of your colour choice with black & white in your layout. (in my example the flower buds had small amounts of green - so long as it's minimal)
3. Use a shape to frame your entire page and color it either Black or your color choice.
4. Add a Black and White photo and tint it in the smallest amounts of your chosen color. Must be barely detectable.
5. Add 8 to 15 embellishments to your page. Remember only in your color tones or black and white. How you arrange them is up to you.
6. Add some text in various sizes - a quote/verse.
7. Remember to add shadows to all of your elements to give depth of field. Don't over do it. Remember the rules of shadows - the greater the distance from the item to the surface - the further away the element - the closer the element the closer the shadow. Image your elements are laying on top of a piece of paper with the light coming from the top and slightly to the side.
8. Lastly save and share your layout with us in the forum and gallery. Remember to give credits for the designer and kit used in your layouts in the gallery.

Here is my layout example for you to have a look at. I hope it helps inspire you and helps you understand my instructions.

Donna - great layout - special thanks for joining the challenge especially if you are really busy this month. You are awesome. Hugs

Kimmyann - George Jones Layout. Oh my - I hadn't heard of his passing. So sad but not a bad age to live to, so I guess we have to look on it as being a good long life. This is how I look at it now days. Mum is 80 years old and her health isn't what it used to be. We need to celebrate their lives. Love the layout but really you have something wrong in your post - at least the "awesome Carena" part. You are so funny!

I Agree Carena!! He would have been 82 and with the Life he chose he lived longer than some thought. His Music will Live For Ever (O he had a sone named that ) I got to see him in person one time and I live about 10 miles from where he was raised

Donna, Take care of yourself!!! I am sending Hugs and Prayers your way!!!
